Hugo Winners for Best Related Work

The Hugo Award for best related Work has been given every year since 1980, with one "Retro Hugo" having been given in 2004 for the year 1954. The award honors the best work related to the field of science fiction, fantasy, or fandom which is either non-fiction or noteworthy primarily for reasons other than any fiction it may contain. The award has most often been given to biographies and genre related encyclopedias, although this is by no means universal. This does appear to be the Hugo Award for which the winners consistently have the longest title names.

Clicking on the year will take you to a page listing all of the nominees for the Hugo Award for that year. Three novels have been awarded "Retro Hugos", and are listed here in red, with the year the award was actually given the award noted in parenthesis.
